In my
continuing search and one man mission to cast the next X-Men movie
here are some more names that I have come up with to play in the
movie. This is harder than I thought it'd be since I am trying to
avoid people from previous X films and people who have prominently
been in other superhero films. Like Halle Berry as Storm/Catwoman and
Chris Evans as Captain America/Human Torch. You'd swear there were
only twenty people that acted the way some films are cast.
Jesse
Plemons as Beast. I need this to be a thing. Though I only know him
from Black Mass and an episode of Black Mirror I like this guy. Yeah,
I know he has been in plenty of other things but these two are the
only ones I need as proof that he can play Beast aka Hank McCoy. He
is only 30 years old right now so he fits into the age range I am
looking for. And for anyone wondering about the blue fur and the
amount of time in makeup needed...don't. This will be the old school
version of Beast where he just has the big hands and feet and is
super agile. The problem with the other films is that they could not
wait to show you the fur version and skipped past the mutated
version.
In the later films Beast has the ability to go back and
forth between being furry or not which is totally stupid and makes
him being on the team kinda strange. “Oh, you can look normal when
you feel like it? You poor creature, you...” I think Plemons would
have the ability to pull off the look and behavior of Beast until way
later in the series he gets the fur and when he does I will make him
hate it because now I am magically writing the script. While I'm at it, I want him wearing big ass gloves and snow shoes in a terrible attempt to hide his mutantcy. Is that a word? No. It is not. It is now.
Domhnall
Gleeson as Professor X. This guy is good. I've seen him in Brooklyn,
Ex Machina, as well as Frank and in each loved him. This guy is just
an incredible actor. He was also in one of my favorite episodes of
Black Mirror. He is currently 34 years old which is what I need for
this because I do not want The Professor to be as young as the rest
of his students because that shit is weird.
This version of Charles
Xavier is bald from the start. In the latest films he had hair and
lost it for dumb reasons. No. He loses it early in life which does
not help with his self esteem and on top of that his psychic powers
that he can not control yet make him even more ostracized. I also
want to include his step-brother The Juggernaut but have not cast him
yet. Holy crap, these movies really shit the bed not having that
whole dynamic going on. And I want him in the wheelchair from the
start. I don't even remember how it happened but I do not want dude
ever not in his wheelchair. I want as many obstacles as possible in
his life to make him want to fight so strongly for equal rights for
mutants. And absolutely no Mystique. That shit is so stupid how they
handled it in film.
Bill
Skarsgård as Magneto. Bill (I can not spell his last name over and
over) is scary as hell. I only remember him from It and do not recall
him in Atomic Blonde. He is currently 27 years old but I can make
this shit work with some white hair.
This will not be an old Magneto
where the Holocaust was almost a hundred years ago. I want this shit
fresh in his memory (which is why the movie has to be in the 60's
which makes a whole new set of issues for characters like Storm) and
I want him mad. Not the cool mad that movies do now where the villain
is so cool that you like him. That has been the issue in all
incarcerations of him in the movies. Xavier and Magneto's
relationship is always described as Martin Luther King and Malcolm.
Fuck that. I want this to be some Gandhi versus Hitler shit. I want
Magneto to have become what he hated the most. And he will never lift
an entire building, stadium, or bridge. That shit is dumb and done
just for show. He basic power is amazing enough and can be far more
subtle. Decades later people still remember Darth Vader using a Force
Choke and that was just dude lifting his hand and aiming it at
another ones throat from across the room. Magneto can fuck up your
iron levels in your blood and make you faint. He can impale you with
your own zipper. In the films his best scene is when he is pulling a
fence from a distance as he is being dragged away from his family,
not the stadium moving shit. I want him loner as fuck and liking it
for a long time until he absolutely has to form the Brotherhood of
Evil Mutants. As for the helmet, yeah, we bringing the helmet. We
have to.
